I give up.

I can't fathom how the dogs can get fleas again - third time in as many months - it's costing me a fortune - and I have spend a day every time to clean up the whole house and vacuum every particle of dust (not easy in the dump).

To top it all - I looked in the shallow section underneath the cooker and guess what I found - yes, another fucking nest. I stripped the cooked down and found that they had been pulling out the insulation wadding, that was the cotton wool stuff they are using. I've scrubbed the whole fucking thing again and drowned it in bleach and taken the panel off so that it's not 'safe' any more - I don't understand it - poison, traps, dogs, chemicals.... fucking rodents are invincible.

The rain fr the last two days has been making the dam at the back of the kitchen worse - I'm 'this' close to knocking the whole thing down and moving the kitchen to the dining room. The roof needs replacing and it leaks all the way along the top and the side - and I'm pretty sure that the rodents are using the rafters to get in, nothing I can do there.

I made my first hearty soup of the autumn, carrot and coriander, bloody lovely - better than anything you get in the shops. I have chicken later - first bit of meat I've eaten for some time - I could do with the protein boost.

They're probably immune to Frontline. It happened to our cat last year, but a new brand sorted the fleas out straight away.
